We help provide musical, liturgical, and other support for the sharing of God's love and spirit, as expressed through many forms of worship.
Our worship ministries include: Sunday morning worship and music planning, Special seasonal worship, Assignment and training of worship assistants for each service, Support of adult choirs, bell choir, liturgical dance group, and drama productions.
Awake! ~ Worshipping in the Dawn (December 3-24)
"Awake!" captures the focus of our Advent worship experiences. When one awakes in the early dawn on a clear day at this time of year, the sky turns from the near-black to deep, brilliant blue before the sun appears. Before the sun actually appears, the hushed sounds of the early dawn trigger anticipation of the bright, new day ahead. In our Advent worship, we are awakening to the "dawn" of the new church year before Christ's birth, anticipating in wonder what and how the Lord of Light will impact our lives, communities and world.
When you arrive at HTELC to worship, the color and decorations in the entrance and gathering area remind us that we are waking to the birth of Christ. As you walk into the Sanctuary, the overhead draping's rise toward the light above as a reminder that our Advent journey is not short-term and stationary, but one that encourages us to experience all the elements of preparing for the birth of Christ.
The Sanctuary is highlighted with deep, royal blue – the color of Advent – in the altar clothes, banners, Advent candles, stain-glassed windows and garland bows. Advent blue is even in the vestments of the worship leaders. On close examination, you'll see blue in the iridescence of the overhead draping's - as well as green, red and white, other colors of the upcoming church year.
The worship service itself also helps us to Awake! in preparing for and anticipating the coming of Christ the King. A different family each week lights the Advent candles using a common simple hymn at both worship services. The weekly lectionary readings and sermon each week change to as we focus on the various aspects the Advent journey. The choirs use music that enhance our Advent journey.
On some Advent Sundays, our worship services will be boosted by contributions from the liturgical dancers, bell choir, Confirmation students and others. There will be one service on Sunday, December 17, the Children's Christmas Program.
May your Advent journey awaken you to the peace, hope and grace of Christ in your life!
Why Royal Blue Is the Advent Color
Throughout most of the northern hemisphere, both royal blue and deep purple were historically used by and for royalty because those dyes were rare and expensive. Early Christians assumed these color choices to symbolize the spiritual royalty of Christ the King. In many mainline churches today, including ours, royal blue is now the Advent color in contrast to the penitential deep purple of Lent.
Returning to two Sunday Worship services.
Starting on Sunday September 10th, the Sunday two worship service format begins again for 2017- 2018 program year. The first Sunday worship service begins at 8:30 AM, with a "contemporary" approach and the second Sunday worship service begins at 11:00 AM, with a "traditional" approach.
During the time between these two worship services, members and guests of all ages can share in fellowship, partake of continuing biblical study and/or share thoughts in adult forums.
Come join us!
Worship and Music Teams Vision Statement
The three Worship and Music teams (8:30, 11:00, and Wednesday night) have adopted a vision statement to be used in the formation of our worship services. We would like you to read the Vision Statement, reflect upon your worship experiences by reflecting upon two questions and then share your answers to members of the Worship and Music teams.
WORSHIP and MUSIC VISION STATEMENT
Holy Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church will increasingly offer inspiring worship which propels us to live out Christ in daily living, in which the Holy breaks into our lives and builds a Christian community through liturgies that are carefully crafted and rehearsed, music that is singable, memorable, participatory and flexible, and all liturgical arts. We do this for the glory of God for the sake of the world.
Reflecting upon your worship experience, what are the ways that our worship services bring you closer to God, thereby accomplishing our vision statement?
What are some ideas about worship and music that you feel we should consider to help us bring God into our lives, helping to achieve our vision statement?
Steven Bauer, Chris Berg, Leslie Lynne Darling, Ron Indorf, Dorothy Kasik, Julie Moore, Glenn Oswald, and Rich Swiatocha
Our prayers go out for God's comfort for those effected by Hurricane Harvey.
Our summer worship is underway. All summer services take place at 9:30 am through Sunday, September 3. Here are some special services for this summer:
We hope to see you all for summer worship!
The Worship and Music team is putting together a Worship Assistants handbook to describe the roles of each type of worship assistant. There are many of you who have or are currently serving as a worship assistant. We would like each of you to contribute in the writing of the job description for the various assistants. Please submit a description for any and all worship assistant roles you for which you participated in the past or presently. Notes and letters can be put in Yvonne Topping's mailbox or emails can be sent to Mark Donahue, our office coordinator. Please consider doing this soon!

"This marks the fourth shooting incident at a U.S. school within a week -- the second at a college or university -- and serves as a stunning reminder that it is impossible to know when and where violence will occur." (Knapp, 02/15/2008)
This quote, referencing the 2008 shooting at Northern Illinois University, is a stark reminder that the school systems in the United States are soft targets for acts of violence. Although it is almost impossible to predict such tragic events, it is possible to prepare, react, and respond to these actions in a timely manner to reduce loss of life and property. Advances in technology, particularly in geographic information systems (GIS), have given first responders the ability to respond to these occurrences more rapidly and efficiently. The GIS application created in this project supports the needs of first responders to enhance preparation and response to emergencies, in this case at Montclair High School, Montclair, California. Utilizing a variety of geospatial tools and software applications, the system will provide emergency personnel with a unique application or system designed to support a more effective and efficient response.

Harry Potter vs. Dr. Seuss
Posted in: Children's Books
It's an absurd question really — an apples and oranges comparison, but I'll ask it anyway:
Harry Potter books or Dr. Seuss books - which have had the most impact on kids' reading?
And, since this is my blog, I'll post my answer to this question first:
I believe that books by Dr. Seuss have had the greatest impact on children's reading. Dr. Seuss books enfused the experience of parents and children reading together with a level of pleasure that had never existed before in books for early readers. How many of us have happy memories of sharing a chair with a parent and turning pictures and hearing those funny rhymes until the day came that when our parents were called away, we could continue to sit and turn those pages and read the story ourselves. Implanting the idea that reading = pleasure and learning to read could be fun has increased the desire to read in multiple generations now thanks to Dr. Seuss
I do not mean to take anything away from J.K. Rowling's contribution to children's literature. The idea that a book release could be a media event and book reading would be a shared experience across generations and cultures is phenomenal. But it built upon us already having a desire to read and Dr. Seuss was essential for that. Therefore my vote is that Dr. Seuss books have played a greater role in children's reading today.
Feel free to post your opinion to the question: Harry Potter books or Dr. Seuss books which have had the most impact on kid's reading? in the comments below.

As the Director of Strategic Planning Susan McGalla that she has the skills to build a brand. Since she holds this position in the NFL for the Pittsburgh Steelers she also shows that she has the ability to lead in a male-dominated field. This is the type of woman that has inspired me down through the years. She has become one of the most intriguing people in the business world because she has proven herself and been rewarded for her work. She has never given any woman the false impression that this was an easy thing to do though. McGalla encourages women by painting the picture of what they will have to encounter before they get the chance to break through that glass ceiling.
Susan McGalla and many other women have made the transition to leadership in the corporate world, but it has not been easy. There are not always a lot of people in CEO positions. The president of Yahoo! is currently a CEO, but there are still fewer than 10% of the Fortune 500 companies that have women in charge. That is why women are finding the efforts of these women in leadership so inspiring. A lot of women will look for the best way to break into the corporate sector as a leader, but the current leaders started small. Susan McGalla worked her way up in the industry. She did not start out in CEO status, and this is what many women will have to remember. There are small steps that have to be taken in order to reach the big steps. This can be a very important thing to master because it makes you humble. It also allows you to rise and make better decisions as you become a leader because you have been at the lower level of a corporation. A lot of people that have skipped the lower level do not have a good relationship with employees. They may not know what these employees are going through because they have not been on this level. This can make it a lot harder to lead.
What women will realize is that there may not be a lot of women in positions as president, but there are tons of women in business in general. There are women that have leadership roles at Oracle, Facebook and Xerox. There are women that are leading businesses through marketing and strategic planning. All of this will lead to butter streams of revenue. It will also allow these women to open more doors for females that want to lead. The glass ceiling is definitely real in the business world, and many women are getting trapped under it. So many have the desire to do enter the corporate world, but many males have been chosen for positions so women have to prove themselves in the business world.

A couple of months ago I was commissioned by Fabulous magazine to photograph a local story for them. The story is about local Gosport lady Laura Dreczko. When knocked off her bike by a car Laura came to the realisation that she had no local friends to call on. Previously life travelling in the Navy started this and Laura points that having over 300 friends on Facebook is very different in real life. The story goes on to say how that bike accident changed Laura's life for the better and she has let the Navy and is now starting her own Holistic Therapy business.
Laura and her family were also all great fun to meet with too. Between the "thoughtful" poses we are having lots of laughs too!
I created a number of photos in 4 different locations and today I'm pleased to see one has been published as a full page in Fabulous magazine, the Sunday supplement. (and if you didn't get a chance to buy your copy today you can also read the full story the Fabulous website.
Many thanks to Fiona Eustace (hair, make up and referring me as the photographer) and to Louisa Wray, assistant. Big thanks to Laura Drezcko and her family for a great day and lots of laughs. Also to the Park Tavern, Gosport, for the location.

Tauris & Co Ltd Hardback $110.00 Paperback / softback $28.00 Add to Cart Overview This is the first critical anthology to offer extended analysis of the representation of sexual perversions on screen. Interrogating the recent shift towards the mainstream in the cinematic representation of previously marginalised sexual practices, Tainted Love challenges the discourses and debates around sexual taboo, moral panics, degeneracy, deviance and disease, which present those who enact such sexualities as modern folk devils. This timely collection brings together leading scholars who draw on a variety of critical approaches including adaptation, performance, cultural studies, queer theory, feminism and philosophy to examine screen representations of controversial sexualities from the weird and wonderful to the debased and debauched. Chapters explore provocative performances of hysteria and sexual obsession, 'everyday' perversion in neoliberal culture, the radical potential of sadomasochism, teenage sexuality in the films of Larry Clark, intergenerational sex and incestuous relations in French cinema, sexual obsession in gay cinema, the straightness of necrophilia, the presentation of the paedophile, Swedish Erotica's 'good sex' and imaging and re-imagining the Marquis de Sade from film to slash fiction. In order to move past binary distinctions of good and bad, normal and abnormal, moral and immoral, Tainted Love seeks to critically interrogate perverse sexualities and sexual perversions on screen. Author Bio Darren Kerr ia a senior lecturerer in film and television at Southampton Solent University, UK. He is also the co-editor of Hard to Swallow: Hard-core Pornography on Screen (2012) and he has published articles on sex, horror, violence and adaptation.Donna Peberdy is a senior lecturerer of film and television at Southampton Solent University, UK. She is the author of Masculinity and Film Performance: Male Angst in Contemporary American Cinema (2011) and her research and publications focus on acting, performance, sex and gender.

Ultimate Team War - Rapture
|Voting Style:
|Point System:
|7 Point
|7 years ago
|Voting Period
|3,430 times
|Debate No:
Team leader: One of the debaters here, i.e. me or my opponent
Team member: One of the five chosen warriors.
Team Pro: My team.
Team Con: My opponent's team.
1. This war takes place in Rapture, the underwater city from Bioshock, onJuly 4th, 1958, before the Rapture Civil War.All people will be absent, as if they were evacuated.
2. No player may leave the furthest bounds of Rapture, nor may they go above sea level.
3. There will be no demi-god characters that are capable of travelling at ridiculous speeds, shattering almost any barriers in their way sustaining little damage to themselves, and wiping out anything, like Superman or Sentry, or anything more powerful than that. Nor will therebe any unlimited powers thatcannot be resisted.If you're in doubt, just ask.
4. Other illegal powers include time travel and mind control (taking over an opposing character).
5. Any team member must be either real or, if fictional, verifiably existent. No characters may be made up for the purpose of this debate.
6. In the case of a fictional character, the team member's abilities must be according to a specific canon chosen by the team leader.
7. Every character has only the equipment that they generally have in the specified canon.
8. Team members are absolutely loyal to the team leader. All team members are still subjected to their own emotions, however.
9. The team leader may not directly participate in the competition, but may only facilitate. The role of the team leader is to explain what the team would do and why it would win against the opposing team.
10. Neither team can have a member in common. If one team leader chooses a team member, the other team cannot have that character.
11. A team wins when all members of an opposing team are dead, unconscious, or essentially unusable. Characters who cannot be dead, unconscious, or unusable are not allowed.
12. In Rounds 4 and 5, neither debater may introduce completely new arguments, only new counter-arguments or clarifications of older arguments. In Round 5, CON may not post any new counter-arguments, except to counter new counter-arguments or clarifications.
13. The winning team automatically receives Arguments and Sources. Conduct, in addition to regular things, goes to the person who follows the rules most effectively. Please remember this rule.
Round 1: Rule specifications; PRO unveils first three team members, CON unveils all five team members. PRO also chooses the location of his team at the start of the fight; CON then chooses a different location.
Round 2: PRO unveils his final two team members and explains why his team is better. CON also begins his arguments.
Round 3, 4, 5: Arguments and rebuttals. CON may not present any new arguments during round 5, since PRO has no chance to rebut them.
My team will start in Arcadia, just outside the Tree Farm. My opponent must choose a different room.
Team Member 1: Mewtwo
This is the mighty Psychic Pokémon from the movie Mewtwo Strikes Back. He wields powerful psychic attacks, as well as many defensive and tricky maneuvers.
His wiki: http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net...(anime)
Team Member 2: Link
Link is a corageous Hylian clad in green, who wields a sword and a shield, altough he also has an array of other equipment to choose from. The specific Link I choose to use is the Hero of Time, from Majora's Mask, whose unique trait is the many masks that he can put on for magical effects. He also has the Triforce of Courage, which seems to grant him protection from dark magic and innate skill with weaponry and such things.
His wiki: http://zelda.wikia.com...
Team Member 3:Harry Potter
Harry is an Auror, a powerful wizard. He's also the Boy who Lived, and the Chosen One, and all that. He uses magic. He brings with him his treasured wand and his Invisibility Cloak.
His wiki: http://harrypotter.wikia.com...
I will post my other two team members and begin my arguments in Round 2, after my opponent posts his or her team members. Good luck, tvellalott!
Oh, and thanks to MTGandP for coming up with the entire concept of UltimateTeam War!
Team TVELL:
Jon the Shattered One
Extremely powerful mage. Main antagonist of Baldur's Gate II
Main character of God of War series. He is the mortal son of Zeus. I'll be using his GOWIII weapons and abilities.
Lone Predator sent to prevent a Xenomorph outbreak on Earth.
Jedi Master Mace Windu
The Jedi who would have beaten Darth Sidius (who later stalemated with Yoda) had Anakin not intervened. A master of all the Jedi arts and exemplary member of Jedi council.
Iron Man
Tony Stark, he's the man of steel, he's a real cool cat, he's the real deal.
Team Member 4: Magneto
Magneto is a villain from the Marvel universe. While physically not very powerful, he is very intelligent, and has the ability to manipulate magnetic fields to his benefit.
His wiki: http://marvel.com...(Max_Eisenhardt)
Team Member 5: Kyogre
Kyogre is named in mythology as the Pokémon that expanded the sea by covering the land with torrential rains and towering tidal waves. It took to sleep after a cataclysmic battle with Groudon.
Its wiki: http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net...(Pok%C3%A9mon)
My chosen canon is the anime.
Now, onto the battle!
My opponent has chosen in the comments section Olympus Heights as the starting location of his team.
At the start, Harry casts a Bubble-Head charm on himself, and transfigures Magneto's helmet so that it is a closed container, holding oxygen. He then casts Fiendfyre upon the trees in the Tree Farm, burning them to the ground and depriving Rapture of its source of oxygen. Concentrating, he redirects the Fiendfyre along the past towards Olympus Heights. I estimate that it would take about a minute for the fire to reach Olympus Heights.
Link puts on his Zora Mask, transforming into a Zora.
After about thirty seconds, as the tree farm is gone and the fire is well on its way, Mewtwo concentrates his psychic energy to destroy the Arcadia. Water comes pouring in, flooding the room. Mewtwo covers himself in a psychic bubble and floats out the hole that he has created; Link swims after him. Harry and Magneto hold on to Kyogre's back as Kyogre departs. Magneto uses his magnetic prowess to bend back metal to expand the created hole large enough for them to safely pass.
Team MONG quickly arrives in the water outside Olympus Heights. Mewtwo then concentrates again to destroy Olympus Heights like he did Team Rocket's research lab. Kyogre joins with a Hyper Beam attack, and Harry uses Expulso to add to the destruction. Magneto assists by ripping apart any metallic structure of Olympus Heights; this ability could destroy Iron Man, painfully ripping his suit in half, Jon, pulling out the artificial back of his skull, and Wolf, whose advanced technology would be robbed from him. Mace Windu would lose his lightsaber, and Kratos would lose any of his metallic weapons.
No member of Team TVELL seems like they'd be able to survive in the water with an ability to put up any real kind of fight, especially after the destructive collapse of Olympus Heights. My opponent would have to point out how they'd survive at this point, because I don't see how they could; I would then detail how my team would fight off these survivors. If the war is still going on after Olympus Heights has been destroyed, Team MONG will proceed to destroy other parts of Rapture until either the war ends in their victory or the enemy has been found.
Good luck, tvellalot, with your response. I look forward to reading it.
"Mewtwo concentrates his psychic energy to destroy the Arcadia. Water comes pouring in, flooding the room. Mewtwo covers himself in a psychic bubble..."
It's a shame Mewtwo didn't cover himself in the psychic bubble before causing the decompression that just killed his entire team.
Clearly my opponent didn't think out his plan too thoroughly...
-Rapture is located at the bottom of the North-Atlantic ocean. [1]
-The North-Atlantic ocean averages at about 8,900 feet deep. Even if we assume (which we can't) that it's only a quarter that, it's still more than 2000 feet. [2]
-Humans generally die from nitrogen narcosis at around 300 feet. [3]
-Even a whale must go through a lengthy decompression process to reach deeper depths. [4]
-None of my opponents team has any method of protecting them from this sudden extreme decompression or from nitrogen narcosis.
In otherwords, as soon as my opponent ruptures the protective glass, he causes a deadly decompression which kills all of his team. Even if he does manage to survive this decompression, his team members will be killed by nitrogen narcosis.
He doesn't take into account that both Iron man and Wolf will be capable of breathing without the oxygen provided by the trees he just destroyed.
So thanks mongeese, you made this battle very easy.

My opponent claims that the decompression caused by the shattering of the room will kill my team members before they can defend themselves. I disagree.
First of all, my opponent only gives sources describing the effects of the nitrogen narcosis. He mentions nothing about the actual damage or duration of the decompression process. If the processes take any longer than a few seconds (which it probably will, as Mewtwo is only creating a hole through which to escape, as opposed to blowing the entire room up), my teamwould notice the effects, and takeemergency evasiveprocedures. Harry would be able to apparate himself, Magneto, and Link to the Hephaestus, from which they can lead an unexpected march to Olympus Heights, aided by another surprise apparition.
Once there, Magneto can single-handedly handle Iron Man, Jon, and Wolf, as they are so susceptible to his magnetic manipulation. Link would take on Kratos in the most epic sword fight the world has ever seen, naturally after donning the Fierce Diety's Mask. Harry would take on Mace Windu; Expelliarmus would disable him, and Avada Kedavra would kill him.Harry would then aid Link in taking out Kratos; after that, the three warriors can easily eliminate the remaining three foes one by one. Meanwhile, Mewtwo and Kyogre would be working on destroying Olympus Heights from the outside, as initially planned. Harry, Magneto, and Link would die in a heroic sacrifice, having distracted the foe long enough for their ultimate destruction.
Mewtwo would have absolutely no problem with the supposed dangers of destruction at such depths.The instant after the walls collapse, he would create a psychic bubble around himself, protecting him from the changing pressure, which is the cause of both decompression and narcosis. Obviously, the pressure of the room isn't going to change in an instant, so Mewtwo is safe; even if the pressure changed slightly, it wouldn't harm Mewtwo, built to be a biological fighting machine. His body was built for tough situations like this.
Finally, we come to Kyogre, who is essentially an über whale. Kyogre actually spent most of its life sleeping in the deepest marine trench in the Pokemon world, at the bottom of the sea [1]; it is naturally capable of handling the ocean's depths. My opponent points to a "lengthy decrompression process" required for whales, but nowhere in the article that he cites does it say that the whale actually takes that long to adapt to the water's pressure. It only suggests that it takes a while (actually only about twenty-seven minutes) to get to such low depths, not to correct their body organs for the depth's pressure. It's quite likely that a whale can adapt to the pressure extremely quickly, and as Kyogre is the ultimate whale, it will adapt almost instantly. A sperm whale can hold its breath for about two hours, but Kyogre has slept at the bottom of the sea for millennia; comparing a sperm whale's survivability to Kyogre's is like comparing the sturdiness of a piece of paper to that of an entire tree. Even if there are some problems with correcting for the pressure, this sudden change is unlikely to be enough to kill Kyogre or even knock Kyogre unconscious; it might just have a little headache that would take a bit of sitting time to clear. After that, it can continue on its epic rampage.
There's also Zora Link, who will end up in the water if Harry doesn't pull him out through appirition. As a Zora, Link was able to survive at great depths in the Great Bay Temple while suffering no ill effects for three whole days.
Add the fact that Link, Mewtwo, and Kyogre are made of iron [2], and there's no reason to expect any of them to be incapacitated by water pressure. Finally, Zora Link breathes directly from the water, so he is unaffected by narcosis, and Kyogre has already breathed the air that it intends to use, and as narcosis affects compressed air, not inhaled air, it is also immune.
According to my opponent, Iron Man and Wolf can survive the loss of oxygen. This seems to be an indication that the other three enemies will die from the lack of oxygen. As Magneto was given a protective helmet, Link can use carbon dioxide instead as a Deku, and Harry has his Bubble-Head Charm, they will survive, and will easily take down Iron Man and Wolf in a one-on-one fight. Of course, my opponent gives no plan for Iron Man and Wolf to escape the destruction of Olympus Heights. It only takes Harry, Mewtwo, or Kyogre to succeed in bringing town the entire of Team TVELL.
I am, according to Rule #12, still allowed to introduce new arguments, as it is still Round 3. Based on this response, I have a new plan:
Mewtwo shrouds himself in a psychic bubble at the start. Harry executes Fiendfyre as intended. Harry then apparates Magneto and Link to Hephaestus, where they march on Olympus Heights. Mewtwo then bursts a hole in the Arcadia, pressurizing the room, and Kyogre quickly adapts to this new environment. Mewtwo then concentrates more to make the hole in Arcadia large enoguh for Kyogre to swim through, and the two of them quickly travel to the outside of Olympus Heights. From here, the plan is entirely the same as before, with epic battles and ultimate destruction.
I would like to remind my opponent that according to Rule #12, he only has one remaining round to make new arguments, so unless he is extremely confident in his water-flows-everybody-dies argument, he had better have a back-up plan. Good luck, tvellalot. I look forward to reading your response.

I purpose that Mace Windu can kill Magneto with FORCE CHOKE [1] without being in the same room as him. Irenicus will teleport (using GATE [2]) the group to the Rapture Control Centre, where Tony Stark will be able to operate the camera system (Ryan uses it throughout the entire first game) and bring Magneto up on screen. I don't even need to venture into Non-Canon material to show that it's possible for a sufficiently powerful force wielder to kill someone via a view screen. Darth Vader does it in Episode V.
This leaves the Harry Potter and Link to take on my entire team, which would clearly be a slaughter.
Knowing exactly where they are, via the cameras, Irenicus teleports the group into a position to ambush.
Neither Link nor Harry Potter has the ability to sense, so it would be a suburb surprise attack.
Mace Windu and Kratos attack Link, who would no doubt fight valiantly, but would simply be outmatched.
Irenicus casts "Power Word: Stun" [3], Iron Man fires a volley of blasts from his palm cannons and Wolf fires his shoulder cannon at Harry Potter. He may have a chance to defend one of the attacks with a deflection or shield spell, but the barrage of the attacks would definitely kill him.
My opponent will no doubt argue that oxygen is quickly running out because of his bastardly act and he is correct. But, this battle has been five minutes at the most so far, hardly enough for Rapture to be devoid of oxygen.
*sigh* I have been trying to work out for three days how to approach this and this is the only viable attack plan I could come up with.
The group seal themselves in back in the Rapture Control Centre, which would clearly have sufficient oxygen to last long enough for them to implement the follow set of actions. It's a long shot, but I essentially have no choice.
Mace Windu goes into a deep Force Meditation, reaching out to sense the locations of Kyogre and Mewtwo; via telepathy he can communicate this information to Irenicus. Wolf begins his self-destruct mechanism. As we saw in the original Predator movie, it only takes about a minute. With three seconds left, Irenicus uses Gate to teleport Wolf right on top of Mewtwo. The resulting explosion would obliterate both of them.
This leaves Kyogre. Irenicus casts "Wish" [4] and Mace Windu (who clearly has the highest wisdom of the group, the variable of the spells success) and asks that Kyogre is teleported into the room.
Once in the room, my remaining four team members would clearly rip the uber whale pokemon apart.
While my opponent's plans are very creative and resourceful, he both underestimates the power of my team members and overestimates the power of his own; this shall lead to his downfall.
Let's start with Magneto, who is being threatened with Mace Windu's Force Choke through a security camera. While Darth Vader was able to pull off a technique, "those most experienced with Force Grip needed only a live visual of their victim in order to perform the technique" [1]. This applies to Darth Vader, who uses the move as punishment for subordinates on a daily basis, but not Mace Windu, who rarely uses it. It's unlikely that the move would work at all, especially to the point that Magneto wouldn't be able to use magnetism to destroy the security camera, freeing him.
There's also Magneto's helmet, which was designed to block telepathic attacks, a category to which Force Chokes belong.
Magneto now gets to join Link and Harry in the fight against all of Team TVELL. He can use his magnetic powers to randomly spin Iron Man, Wolf, and Irenicus, essentially disabling them as they cannot aim their attacks or concentrate. Link fights off Kratos, allowing Harry to first disarm Mace Windu with Expelliarmus, and then kill him with Avada Kedavra. Magneto would be able to interrupt the sword fight by magnetically freezing Kratos' weapons, exposing him to a fatal onslaught from Link; Harry could accomplish something similar with Petrificus Totalus. Iron Man would then be ripped apart and killed with Reducto, Wolf would be killed by having Kratos' weapons driven through its body, and Mace Windu would be struck with numerous Light Arrows.
Note that my opponent's plans regarding this fight rely on outnumbering my team; with Magneto able to handle three foes at once, the plans fail.
Now, even if the noble trio falls, Mewtwo and Kyogre remain. To take out Mewtwo, my opponent intends to use a self-destructing Wolf. This plan requires that Mace Windu, Wolf, and Irenicus survive the above fight, which is extremely unlikely. Even if it did work, and Wolf appeared close to Mewtwo, he would be able to quickly use Disable to essentially disable the explosion, and then use Psychic to banish Wolf from his psychic bubble and into the water, where he is crushed by the sudden increase in pressure. Mewtwo lives. He then proceeds in his plan of destroying Rapture, and Team TVELL with it.
We then come to my opponent's "Wish" technique against Kyogre, which requires Irenicus and Mace Windu. Mace Windu wishes for Kyogre to be teleported into their room. However, "Wish" is a rather tricky and vague spell, with odd side effects, rarely having the actual desired effect [2]. And so, yes, Kyogre has been teleported into the room, but Kyogre is the originator of the sea, so along with it comes enough water to flood all of Rapture. Nobody in Team TVELL saw that coming, so they are completely surprised by the results; they don't even have the time to take a breath. Kyogre only sees that the enemy is here, and is ready for destruction. It blasts a Hyper Beam through the side of the wall, breaking it. The water pressure suddenly increases, further nauseating Team TVELL. None of them will be able to take down Kyogre in a water fight, and none of them have the concentration to escape.
In conclusions, I have divided my team into three groups: Mewtwo; Kyogre; and Link, Harry, and Magneto. Each group has a highly effective plan for victory that is independent of the others; only one needs to succeed for Team MONG's victory. I am confident that all of the plans can succeed.
Good luck with your next round, tvellalot.

I apologise to my opponent for not posting sources for my last round. I was rushing to write my response before I had to go out and I just spaced on it, so here they are:
[1] http://starwars.wikia.com...
[2] http://www.dandwiki.com...
[4] http://www.planetbaldursgate.com...
Moving on…
It seems that my success rides almost completely on defeating Magneto and I think my plan of attack will be very successful.
First of all, Mace Windu is well and truly capable of using Force Grip on Magneto via the camera. The man is the former Grand Master of the Jedi Council. We see via the very source my opponent posted Mace Windu using Force Wave, an extremely powerful form of Force Push (which Force Grip is also derived from) to send hundreds of droids flying away from him.
Force Grip is a much less powerful ability than this. The only reason that Mace Windu wouldn't use Force Grip (and again, I strongly feel that he would have absolutely no difficulty with it and I'm sure the voters will agree) is because it is considered a 'Dark Side' ability. Clearly that is irrelevant in this battle.
Second, my opponent claims that this is a telepathic ability, yet he very well knows that it is a telekinetic ability and Magneto's helmet is no defence against it.
Finally, there is no chance that my opponent's team would think to destroy a security camera while Magneto is floating a foot above the ground choking to death; they wouldn't know that was the source of the attack.
So, my attack on Harry and Link works as I suggested it would, with an all-out onslaught by my entire team.
I think my opponents defence against this attack is bollocks too.
I specifically stated that the team would wait three seconds before detonation before teleporting Wolf to Mewtwo. This gives Mewtwo less than two seconds to react to the completely surprise attack. There is nothing on the Mewtwo page to suggest it has precognition or super reflexes.
I admit that this is the most dubious part of my plan. However, I luckily chose Mace Windu as one of my characters for other reasons and he fortunately adds significant chance of success to it.
You see Wish [1] works based on Wisdom; my source states "wisdom of 18 is nigh-on essential to get the most out of this spell". This is not a particularly high Wisdom for a high-level character. If Mace Windu were a D&D character, I suggest his wisdom would be much higher than that, perhaps as much as 22; clearly he would be successful with "I wish that Kyogre would be transported into this room."
My opponent has split up his arguments into three components, each of which he much win for victory.
My opponent is correct in that Mace Windu is very fluent with the power of the Force. However, my source specifically states that the power to attack through a live feed camera is gained through experience with the Force Choke, not the Force Push or the Force in general. This suggests that while proficiency with the Force is required to use certain Force abilities, experience with each individual ability strengthens that ability; using one variant of the Force does not necessarily grant one a more powerful use of another variant. In this way, one would have to practice the Force Choke, and not other variants, to master the Force Choke, and Mace Windu would be incapable of his attack. At the very least, the attack would be slow enough for Magneto to have the chance to destroy the security camera that allowed the attack before any permanent damage can be done, but more on that later.
It is true that the Force Grip is a telekinetic ability, but that does not mean that Magneto has no defense. In my source, Magneto's helmet was stated to prevent psionic attacks; telekinesis is a form of psionics [1]. Therefore, Magneto is safe from the Force Grip from the start.
Finally, my opponent claims that nobody would know why Magneto is floating in the air, and would therefore be unable to help him. However, Harry, Link, and Mewtwo are rather resourceful and intelligent fellows, and the visible effects of the Force Grip make the identity of the attack fairly obvious. Note that I have before clarified that in Ultimate Team War, all characters are aware of their opponent's powers [2]. Any of them can quickly conclude that Magneto is being attacked by Force Grip, and realize that this only works at a distance through security cameras. An arrow from Link, a Repulso from Harry, or a harsh glare from Mewtwo would destroy the camera, freeing Magneto from the Force Grip. Magneto himself could realize what is happening during the Force Choke, and destroy the camera or ruin its circuitry through magnetism.
With these contentions, Magneto, Link, and Harry continue to attack Team TVELL head-on, in a battle that goes uncontestedly in my favor.
My opponent questions Mewtwo's reflexes. Mewtwo is a Psychic Pokemon, which indicates a powerful mind, and even has a second spinal cord, which would increase the speed of the neural system, and therefore its reflexes. When Wolf suddenly appears on top of Mewtwo, his first reaction would have to be, "Oh my Arceus, there's something attached to me, I had better disable it before it can harm me." This shouldn't take any longer than two seconds.
With Wolf destroyed, Mewtwo proceeds to destroy Rapture, and the rest of Team TVELL in the process.
My opponent's source is rather odd for this point. It does agree that wisdom increases the chance of getting good wishes, but it also states that when Wish is used, a random list of wishes is created from a larger list. None of these wishes teleport foes in any way. So, this source actually goes against my opponent, rather than for him, as his wish can no longer achieve his desired goal, and Kyogre is free to wreck havoc by destroying Rapture.
My opponent might argue that any wish can be made because we are not restricting ourselves to a video game, as my own source (which comes from the same Wiki as my opponent's page about Jon) about Wish suggests. However, this source mentions nothing about wisdom boosting the chances of the wish succeeding. It also states that the meaning of wishes can be twisted to great extremes. Immortality apparently also includes an unbreakable life sentence; the most extreme example is:
PLAYER:"I wish to be a god!" DM: "You are now a god but you suddenly lose your godship" [3]
Losing godship doesn't even seem to be part of the wish statement at all; it just happens. In comparison to these twists, adding water to the wish to teleport the mighty Kyogre against its will seems perfectly reasonable.
If a Djinn needed a justification, it would be that Kyogre was teleported in by creating a portal that connected the room with a particular point in the ocean. As Kyogre entered the portal, so did the water, and at an extremely rapid speed, quickly flooding the entire room before anyone could even blink and eventually all of Rapture, until the pressure on each side of the portal was equalized, leaving the system in equilibrium. This still obeys the requirement of teleporting Kyogre into the room in a rather simple manner; the method used was just rather destructive and counter-productive.
To conclude this point, the only source that supports my opponent's wish also makes it rather clear that deadly side-effects are in order; either no wish occurs or a suicidal wish occurs.
In conclusion, any of the three divisions of my team could take down all of Team TVELL, so my opponent must defeat each division individually, a task that seems impossible. Victory for Team MONG is inevitable.
Thank you, tvellalot, for this debate, and thank you, readers, for reading this debate. I would like to remind everybody to read Rules 12 and 13 before voting. Thank you, and good luck.

I hope this doesn't disappoint my opponent too much.
I've genuinely been stumped in this battle, much like I was in our last one.
I hope perhaps to do a battle with my opponent somewhere where the environment isn't going to be the hugely deciding factor.
Congratulations to mongeese. >_<
In any case, good battle. I enjoyed it.

Vanessa Hudgens Shares Her Must Haves For Coachella
Vanessa Hudgens bundles up and checks her messages on her phone as she leaves her apartment in New York City on Saturday afternoon (April 11).
Even though she can't be there this year, the 26-year-old Broadway actress is dishing up her must haves for Coachella.
"Even though dressing up is fun, Coachella is about making new memories while listening to good live music," Vanessa wrote on Tumblr. "At some point, take your shoes off. Feel the grass under your feet. The music coursing thru your body. The sun on your face. Have so much fun love bugs."
She added, "P.S. Bring as many light up things you can find. Glow sticks, rave toys, anything. It helps at night so you and your friends can stick together. Plus, it's always fun waving around glow sticks! Haha."
FYI: Vanessa is wearing Yosi Samra boots.

King Announces Marvel Comics Departure with "The Vision" #12
Earlier today, DC Comics announced they had signed "Grayson" scribe Tom King to an exclusive deal. However, that left the status of "The Vision" — his current Marvel Comics series with Gabriel Hernandez Walta — up in the air. In order to assuage the fears of fans who were concerned he may leave the book prematurely, King took to Twitter to reassure them he would stay on "The Vision" through the end of its 12-issue run, which will likewise end his involvement with Marvel Comics.
King Builds a Better Family in "Vision," Marvel's Sci-Fi, Shakespearean Tragedy
"As to 'Vision,' I'm on through issue 12," he wrote. "We're finishing the story we set out to tell without a single compromise."
While King's Tweet reveals he will stick with "The Vision" through its 12th issue, it also confirms his departure from the series.
As to Vision, I'm on through issue 12. We're finishing the story we set out to tell without a single compromise. pic.twitter.com/cx6yJD4yyL
– Tom King (@TomKingTK) February 18, 2016
King has established himself as one of the biggest rising stars in comics, between launching "Grayson" with co-writer Tim Seeley, attracting acclaim for cult-favorite series "Omega Men." King received attention for the recently launched "The Vision," hailed as one of the most unique series in the All-New, All-Different Marvel lineup.

Vacation Breasts: Worth It or Not?
By ALLISON GOODWIN
Like Cinderella's Fairy Godmother granting a wish for just one night, the new cosmetic trend of "vacation breasts" bestows a woman with a trial pair of bigger breasts that last about a day. Is the procedure worth it? Or are they just another fairytale, waiting to turn into a pumpkin? Dr. Gordon Lewis, a trusted plastic surgeon in the Richmond area shares his insight with us as we take an in-depth look at this new, trending procedure.
What Are Vacation Breasts?
The desire for fuller, larger breasts is a natural one. Some women genetically have a modest chest size than they would like because of their natural shape or congenital deformities (like Poland Syndrome). Other women have lost a bit of their size and fullness after pregnancy and breastfeeding. Women across the US agree that bigger breasts can help them feel more confident, more sexy, and more feminine.
The main function of the vacation breasts procedure is to temporarily increase breast size. The procedure uses a series of saline injections that cause the breast to look larger without implants or surgery. If it sounds too good to be true, remember that the result is very temporary. The technique is effective (in some cases it can increase breast size by a cup and half), but the results only last about 24 hours and then, like Cinderella, you turn back into regular you (smaller breasts included). Longer lasting vacation breast treatments are in development and may someday last for 2-3 weeks.
Many women hope that non-surgical breast enhancement options like this will give them a realistic idea of what they'll look and feel like after surgical breast augmentation. If they are on the fence about whether or not they'd like implants, some women opt for vacation breasts to help make the augmentation decision. About 75% of those that test-drive vacation breasts decide to get implants in the end. And about 98% of all women with breast implants are glad they had the procedure done.
Cost vs. Benefit: Are Vacation Breasts Worth It?
Vacation breasts are a new procedure and very expensive. ABC News indicates that the insta-breast procedure costs about $2500, a big investment for a single day of larger breasts. Some surgeons that offer the procedure credit a portion of it toward breast augmentation surgery should the patient decide to get implants. Financial cost isn't the only thing to consider. There are also the short term risks associated with the procedure (risk of hitting a blood vessel during injections and risk of infection) and the potential unknown long term risks. Another downside is that the body could absorb the saline solution at different rates leading to uneven breasts until the saline is fully absorbed.
Dr. Lewis explains, "Women that are considering vacation breasts to try out implants should realize that there are easier, more affordable options. In my practice I use Vectra 3D Imaging to give my patients a look at their breast augmentation before results before surgery ever occurs. This system is completely non-invasive and gives a very realistic look of your body with larger breasts. Vacation breasts aren't the only way to take implants for a test-drive."
When it comes to lingerie, there are a few potential problems with vacation breasts as well. Bigger breasts means bigger lingerie sizes (and unless you have larger bras just waiting in your closet, that means investing in new lingerie that won't fit tomorrow or going au natural for the day). Since the saline injections temporarily expand breast tissue, it can make your breasts a lot heavier. Bigger breasts tend to sag and the strain of unsupported, heavier breasts could potentially lead to sagging (and in rare cases stretch marks) from the procedure.
When it comes down to it, if you want larger breasts long term, implants are the way to go. Vacation breasts do serve a purpose, but shouldn't be considered an alternative to surgical breast augmentation. One treatment lasts for a day while the other has the potential to last indefinitely. If you're considering vacation breasts to help make the implant decision, consider trying less expensive methods like 3D imaging.

Nothing is more frustrating than a dishwasher that doesn't do its job. You use up all that hot water and soap and expect your dishes to come out clean and dry, but they still end up spotted, smelly, or covered in caked-on crumbs. Because dishwashers are arguably the most commonly used large appliances, mechanical problems can sometimes occur. Here are common dishwasher issues and how to troubleshoot them:
Common Problem #1: Dishes Are Coming Out Dirty
This is an everyday gripe and one that annoys us most of all. After all, what good is a dishwasher if it doesn't wash your dishes? There are actually many reasons your dishwasher isn't performing its primary function, but the main reason for dishes coming out dirty is that you aren't rinsing your dishes enough before placing them on the rack, which means that all that food is getting swished around with the hot water and detergent. Don't listen to commercials that try to convince you that their dishwashers can clean dishes with full plates of food stuck to them.
Troubleshooting Tips:
●Remove the screen and gasket and wash them out completely of food particles.
●Thoroughly clean your dishwasher by running a hot, empty cycle.
●Rinse your dishes of debris and grease before placing them in the dishwasher.
Common Problem #2: Glasses Are Scummy or Film
While spotted glasses aren't exactly dirty, the presence of that filmy layer may mean that your house is running hard water, which means that those white spots are mineral deposits. There are other signs that your faucets are running hard water, such as soap scum on your shower curtain, white film around your faucets, and even dry skin. Hard Water doesn't only affect the cleanliness of your glassware. It can also shorten the lifespan of your hot water heater.
Troubleshooting Tips:
●For a temporary solution, try using detergent that has a water-softening agent.
●Using more detergent for every cycle often does the trick.
●Consider installing a water softening system in your house.
Common Problem #3: Water Won't Drain
A clogged dishwasher can lead to major problems, such as flooding and water damage to your floors and cupboards…not to mention a dishwasher that leaves you with a bunch of smelly half-washed dishes that are trapped behind a door of water. The main reason for a dishwasher that doesn't drain properly is that there is a clog somewhere. The likely culprit: trapped food debris, or an obstruction in the sink drain hose.
Troubleshooting Tips:
●Clean out the screen from the bottom of the dishwasher and remove any obstructions. Clear plastic from food wrappers is a common culprit.
●Check for clogs or kinks in the kitchen sink drain line. A clogged sink can prevent your dishwasher from draining properly.
●Unfortunately, if the drain pump isn't working properly, it may need to be replaced.
For all other dishwashing problems, book an appointment or contact ClearView Plumbing & Heating today to discuss how we can help you with your dishwasher plumbing problems.

Zanni returns for Italy
The 33-year-old Zanni last played for Italy in the 2016 tournament but injuries have since prevented the Benetton flank from adding to his 99 caps.
He has been called up by O'Shea along with Gloucester flank Polledri, with Leonardo Sarto and Tommaso Allan also returning after being sidelined for the November Tests.
"The exciting aspect in this group is the number of options we are developing and the choices we now have available," said Irishman O'Shea.
"We must continue to build depth and we are aware of having to improve, but we have made important progress compared to a year ago.
"I am aware that we will be judged on the results but we all know the level of play we will face and the challenges that await us in every game, starting by playing the second and third best teams in the world rankings in the space of six days in the first two rounds."
Italy – who took the wooden spoon for a second straight time last year – open against defending champions England on February 4 in the Stadio Olimpico and then go to Ireland for the second round on February 10.
The 34-man squad will travel to Rome for a training camp, where they will be joined by young Benneton props Marco Riccioni and Cherif Traore, who will train with the squad.
A final 31-man squad will be named after that training camp from January 21 to 24.
O'Shea took over in March 2016 and his side shocked former world champions South Africa in November that year, beating the Springboks 20-18 in Florence.
But the former Ireland international has had mixed results with Italy, winning just four of 17 matches, including November Tests against Argentina and South Africa.
Meanwhile, New Zealand legend Wayne Smith confirmed he will join Italy's coaching setup later this year despite being diagnosed with prostate cancer.
The 60-year-old believes the surgery was a success and is already targeting a new role working with Italy in the build-up to next year's World Cup in Japan.
"I'll also be doing two to three weeks with the Italian national team coaches over the year," said Smith.
"I'll attend a couple of camps to have a mentoring-type role with Conor O'Shea and Mike Catt. I have a real passion for Italy, its people and their rugby, so my wife Trish and I are looking forward to getting back there now and again."
Italy squad
Forwards: Simone Ferrari, Tiziano Pasquali, Nicola Quaglio (Benetton), Andrea Lovotti (Zebre); Luca Bigi (Benetton), Leonardo Ghiraldini (Toulouse), Oliviero Fabiani (Zebre); George Biagi (Zebre), Dean Budd, Marco Fuser, Federico Ruzza, Alessandro Zanni (all Benetton); Renato Giammarioli, Maxime Mbanda (Zebre), Giovanni Licata (Fiamme Oro), Sebastian Negri, Abraham Steyn (all Benetton), Sergio Parisse (Stade Francais), Jake Polledri (Gloucester).

Amelia Freer's summer eating plan: week two
May 10th 2016
May 12th 2014 / 0 comment
The queen of healthy eating Amelia Freer allows Editor-in-Chief Susannah Taylor to raid her fridge
Get The Gloss's go-to for all things food-related and nutritional therapist Amelia Freer knows food inside and out. She has an incredible understanding of what is needed to get the body to its optimum health, and is on a mission to get us to leave the unhealthy junk behind (take a look at week two of her bikini body diet guide here, complete with recipe).
But how does the genius herself eat healthily? Editor-in-Chief Susannah Taylor took a look at what's inside Amelia's (extremely organised) fridge.
The first thing that Susannah noticed is that Amelia doesn't have as much food as she expected, which Amelia says is because shops are very clever at enticing us to buy more than we need and she is aware that it's easy to waste food.
When it comes to everyday food, Amelia says she makes sure that she is eating enough protein, as she believes protein is the one thing that people miss out easily. She keeps things simple by using protein from leftover dinners for lunch, and keeps her lettuce washed and chopped beforehand so that it's ready to use if she is in a rush. Another everyday staple is coconut milk, which Amelia uses for her breakfast, such as in chia pudding.
Amelia is also a self-confessed "sauerkraut junkie". Made from fermented cabbage, it encourages beneficial bacteria and is one of the most healing foods you could eat. Amelia tries to encourage her clients to put sauerkraut into their diets. She says: "I have it at breakfast, in a salad... it tastes delicious."
Since she doesn't eat any dairy, Amelia makes sure that she always has coconut yoghurt in the fridge. She eats it as a treat, with dessert, with breakfast or in smoothies. She even freezes it and eats it as frozen yoghurt.
Every day, Amelia also soaks chia seeds so that she can add them to her breakfast or throw them into a smoothie. She says that the trick with chia seeds is that it needs some sort of creamy base and sweetness to take away the slimy edge.
Susannah noticed that Amelia keeps her nuts and seeds in the fridge, rather than the cupboard. Amelia explains that nuts have good essential fatty acids in them which can be damaged at room temperature, so it's best to always keep them chilled.
The news recently reported that we need to be consuming seven fruits a day, rather than the previously thought five. Amelia says it is important to ensure that we are getting the rainbow – different colours in every meal. "Avoid a beige diet," she advises.
Health powders are a great way to supplement your diet. Amelia says that if you're making a smoothie, it's a great way to add in extra protein and nutrients. She explains that lipid powders are brilliant for the brain, your health and energy. She also praises the ProBerry-Amla powder by Nutricology for being great at taking the edge off of juicing kale or spirulina.
There are many different varieties of supplements, so Amelia recommends finding the ones that are good quality, organic and provide a boost of energy in your diet. Amelia also keeps her oils in the fridge. Nowadays, lots of people take oils, such as cod liver oil and fish oil, but Amelia says it's important for them to go in the fridge as "they can go rancid at room temperature".
Amelia takes probiotics every morning in her smoothie. She describes them as your "digestive system's best friend". They keep your bowel movements regular and also support your immune system. The majority of your immune system lies in your digestive system, so those that suffer from frequent colds and flu need to be taking probiotics regularly.
Susannah points out that Amelia's fridge is stocked with bottles of coconut water. Amelia explains that they are a nice alternative to drinking plain water.
Additionally, as with nuts and seeds, Amelia is fond of good quality nut butter. She states that there is a large variety available, such as hazelnut, cashew and peanuts. Amelia says that it's important to check that they are raw, as you don't want the nuts to have gone through a heated process which would damage their essential fatty acids.
Amelia is also a big fan of cashew milk, which she uses in chia porridge and smoothies. She claims that it's really easy to make – taking cashew nuts (or whichever nut you prefer), Amelia left them to soak in water in the fridge overnight. She instructs that you then pop it into your Vitamix with fresh filtered water and blend. The mixture is then strained through a nut bag and done.

Chapter 7 bankruptcy protection is designed to eliminate most of the unsecured debts of an individual or business. Unsecured debt is an obligation that does not have specific property as collateral, such as a house or a car. The process is often referred to as a "liquidation bankruptcy" because the property and/or assets of the debtor are sold in order to pay off as much of the debt as possible. Any debt that remains is then eliminated or discharged. If you are unable to pay your debts and need a fresh start, our experienced bankruptcy attorneys can help you explore your options.
Chapter 13 bankruptcy is known as a reorganization bankruptcy in which you set up a repayment plan to pay off debts with future income. Unlike a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, however, you are allowed to keep your property. This form of bankruptcy is only designed for individuals and married couples; businesses are not eligible. If you are struggling to pay your debts, our experienced attorneys can help you set up a Chapter 13 repayment plan.

As your commissioner, it is my honor to announce the opening of the new FOFL Hall of Fame Building in scenic Bardstown, Kentucky.
Bardstown, KY
The new Hall (or as I like to call it, "The House that Bourbon Built") features a main gallery celebrating every player bestowed this eternal honor, as well as separate sections celebrating each class of enshrinees and their achievements.
I would also like to welcome CB Adam Todd, CB Brian Conger, and DT Jake Gray into the Hall as part of the Class of 2026. These three legends were bypassed by what is at times an imperfect voting system; I am choosing to recognize them as three special "Commissioner's Selections." I have also organized a select panel which will nominate similarly wronged players to be included in future classes.

5.7L 350 SBC GM Crate Engine
12681429 Chevrolet Engine
Big on performance & durability, small on price!
All new - not remanufactured! Chevrolet offers the classic 350 in our most economical Small-Block Chevy (SBC) engine assembly. Designed to replace numerous GM production vehicle engines used from 1973-1985. This long block was once known as the GM Goodwrench 350 and includes a durable short-block and traditional 76 cc iron cylinder heads with early-style perimeter-bolt valve covers. Internals consist of a four-bolt main block, nodular iron crankshaft and smooth hydraulic-flat tappet camshaft.
For your convenience we also offer this engine with three levels of completion to save you time and money!
Chevrolet 5.7L 350 SBC GM Crate Engine
This is the correct replacement engine for many older cars, light-duty trucks, (please see the application listings below) as well as an excellent entry-level set-up for street rods, vintage or muscle cars. This engine can grow with you as your budget grows with any number of the performance parts available. GM rates it at 195 horsepower for factory replacement applications, but in a hot rod or other custom application you can expect much more from this affordable 350 with the addition of a few key components.
To quote Super Chevy Magazine's website (Oct. 28, 2015),
"The Chevrolet Performance [sic] 195-horse crate engine is, undeniably, the workhorse of the crate engine world. And, while its diminutive output rating has won it little acclaim, what we found on the dyno was more than a little surprising. We borrowed an Edelbrock Air Gap intake and Holley 650 carb from Westech [as well as 1.75" dyno headers] and used an HEI distributor from our old mill to run the engine in a naturally aspirated, out-of-the-crate condition. The little mouse surprised us with peak power and torque numbers of 287 and 361.7 respectively, nearly 100 horsepower more than it is rated at. So what's the deal? No, there is no dyno sorcery at work here. The power rating the engine carries is extremely generic, and assumes the worst-case scenario of induction and exhaust. In this situation, since we weren't rocking a 2-barrel [or] TBI intake manifold and extremely restrictive cast exhaust manifolds, the engine was free to breathe and ready to prove its worth."
5.7L 350 Specifications:
- 4-bolt main with 2-piece rear main seal
- Nodular iron crankshaft, internally balanced
- LT1/LT4 powdered metal connecting rods
- Cast aluminum pistons (dished)
- 8.5:1 compression ratio

Longer thaw seasons increase nitrogen availability for leaching during fall in tundra soils
Climate change has resulted in warmer soil temperatures, earlier spring thaw and later fall freeze-up, resulting in warmer soil temperatures and thawing of permafrost in tundra regions. While these changes in temperature metrics tend to lengthen the growing season for plants, light levels, especially in the fall, will continue to limit plant growth and nutrient uptake. We conducted a laboratory experiment using intact soil cores with and without vegetation from a tundra peatland to measure the effects of late freeze and early spring thaw on carbon dioxide (CO 2) exchange, methane (CH 4) emissions, dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and nitrogen (N) leaching from soils. We compared soil C exchange and N production with a 30 day longer seasonal thaw during a simulated annual cycle from spring thaw through freeze-up and thaw. Across all cores, fall N leaching accounted for similar to 33% of total annual N loss despite significant increases in microbial biomass during this period. Nitrate(NO 3 -) leaching was highest during the fall (5.33 ± 1.45 mgNm -2 d -1) following plant senescence and lowest during the summer (0.43 ± 0.22 mg Nm -2 d -1). In the late freeze and early thaw treatment, we found 25% highermore »
